I've been familiar with the Gentrys' version for years and never realized it was a cover, so I was very surprised when I found this. As far as I can tell this is the original version, but if anyone out there knows different please do tell.

This is the original version.A liitle known fact about The Gentry's though, is that they released a version "Cinnamon Girl"a couple of months before Neil Young. It actually charted higher and stayed longer than Mr. Young's.
